Warm, yummy Grape Crisp

RECIPE FINDER

Dot Coffey of Dothan, Ala., was looking for a recipe for a grape cobbler. Christy Munroe of Bend, Ore., sent in a recipe for what she calls Grape Crisp that sounded very good. She says, "This is a yummy summertime treat." She likes to serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. She also recommends using a mixture of red and green seedless grapes.

While I know there is a difference between a cobbler and a crisp, in this case I hardly think it matters. Munroe's recipe was a snap to prepare and offers a nice change to the more traditional fruit desserts of summer. Also, because seedless grapes are now readily available year-round, you could make this dessert any time.

Combine grapes, walnuts, zest and ginger. Place in buttered pan. In a bowl, combine oats, flour and brown sugar; mix well. Drizzle melted butter over this mixture. Mix well with a fork. Sprinkle over grape mixture.

In the Aug. 6 Recipe Finder, reader Christy Munroe of Bend, Ore., answered a request from Dot Coffey of Dothan, Ala., for a grape cobbler. Munroe sent in a recipe for Grape Crisp, but the version we printed included an incorrect amount of melted butter. Here is the corrected version of the recipe.
